BACKGROUND

As electronic technologies rapidly develop, various wearable electronic devices have increasingly diverse functions and are increasingly user-friendly such that a user has better experience in a process of using the wearable electronic devices. Currently, intelligent handheld wearable electronic devices gradually become a trend. For example, many handheld devices that have a shape similar to a wristwatch have been launched, and a user can wear these devices around the wrist, which is convenient for use.

However, a wearable electronic device generally has a relatively small screen. Related content displayed on the relatively small screen is not intuitive, and operations are relatively complex during content display. For example, when vital sign data (temperature, heartbeat, blood pressure, and the like) is checked using the wearable electronic device, the user needs to turn on the display screen of the wearable electronic device to view the vital sign data and determine whether the vital sign data is normal. It is not convenient for special groups of people, such as the old people, to use the wearable electronic device. For example, when the display screen of the device is relatively small, it is extremely difficult for the old people to view clearly related display content. Therefore, it is very necessary to provide a wearable electronic device on which display content can be easily identified.

Embodiment 3

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, to make it more convenient for a user to use a wearable electronic device, when a display screen of the wearable electronic device is in a standby state, an area around a tapping position may be automatically lighted according to operation data of the user, such as the tapping position of the user such that the user can perform an operation on the lighted area part.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, a sensor 1 is set as a touch sensor, and a display 4 includes a display screen that is in a standby state. Operation data of the user can be collected using the touch sensor, and a tapping position of the user on the display screen that is in the standby state is acquired. The touch sensor generates a sensor signal that represents the acquired tapping position, and sends the sensor signal to a processor 2, and the sensor signal that represents the tapping position. The processor 2 receives touch sensor, determines, according to the current tapping position, a lighted area on the display screen that is in the standby state, and generates a display control signal that controls the display screen that is in the standby state to display the lighted area, and sends the display control signal to a display controller 3. The display controller 3 controls, according to the received display control signal, the display screen that is in the standby state to display the lighted area.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, a process of determining the lighted area on the display screen based on the tapping position of the user is shown in FIG. 7, and includes the following steps.

In an embodiment, the following manner may be preferably used in a process in which a sensor module in this embodiment of the present disclosure determines, according to a current electrode position, the lighted area on the display screen that is in the standby state.

A: Divide in advance a display screen M that is in an electrode state from a center position X to two sides by a fixed display area size into several display sub-areas Qs as shown in FIG. 8A.

B: Determine whether the current tapping position is located within a display sub-area Q on the display screen that is in the standby state.

If yes, a display sub-area in which the current tapping position is located is used as the lighted area on the display screen that is in the standby state. As shown in FIG. 8B, if the tapping position is precisely located within a display sub-area Q1, the display sub-area Q1 is determined as the lighted area on the display screen that is in the standby state.

If no, a display sub-area adjacent to the current tapping position is used as the lighted area on the display screen that is in the standby state. As shown in FIG. 8C, if the tapping position is not located within any display sub-area, a display sub-area Q2 adjacent to the tapping position is used as the lighted area on the display screen that is in the standby state.

In the foregoing manner of determining the lighted area, a size of the lighted area may be determined with reference to a size of the display screen, which can adapt to the size of the display screen and helps to clearly display content.

S303: Generate a display control signal that controls the display screen that is in the standby state to display the lighted area determined in S302, send the display control signal to a display controller 3, and instruct the display controller 3 to control the display screen that is in the standby state to display the lighted area determined in S302.

If the user does not lock the screen, the display controller 3 invokes a power response event (screen-off/screen-on), supplies power to the determined lighted area, and controls the display to turn on backlight of the determined lighted area. A home screen is directly displayed in a determined area in which the screen needs to be lighted.

If the user locks the screen, the display controller 3 needs to first query a screen-locked state (locked/unlocked). If the screen is in a screen-locked state, after invoking a power response event (screen-off/screen-on), the display controller 3 supplies power to the determined lighted area, and controls to turn on backlight of the determined area. A lock screen is first displayed in a determined area in which a screen needs to be lighted, and after the user unlocks the screen, a home screen is displayed.

Further, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, when the lighted area is displayed, the following operation may further be performed on the lighted area to zoom in the display area zoom in, using the tapping position as a center, the lighted area outwards to a preset area range or an area range that adapts to a size of the display screen, or zoom in, using a horizontal line in which the tapping position is located as a top, the lighted area downwards to a preset area range or an area range that adapts to a size of the display screen, or zoom in, using a horizontal line in which the tapping position is located as a bottom, the lighted area upwards to a preset area range or an area range that adapts to a size of the display screen.

In an embodiment, an implementation process of zooming in display content in the lighted area in this embodiment of the present disclosure may be executed by a display. The present area range is an area range of a size that is not greater than the size of the display screen and that is preset by the user according to the size of the display screen. The area range that adapts to the size of the display screen is an area range lighted by means of automatically identifying the size of the display screen in a process of zooming in the lighted area. For example, if the size of the display screen is 10×20, the area range that adapts to the size of the display screen may be an area range adaptive to a size of 10×20, or may be an area range adaptive to a size of 10×10.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, a lighted area on a display screen that is in a standby state can be determined according to a tapping position, the lighted area is displayed, and a display position on the display screen can be determined according to an operation of a user. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, the user may use an area B surrounding a tapping position A as the lighted area such that the display screen finally only displays the lighted area B to make it more convenient when the user views display content. In addition, display content in the lighted area may be displayed by means of zooming in such that the displayed content is more intuitive, which is convenient for the user to perform an operation.
